I have cousins whose parents/grandparents used to send & receive letters to and from my mother Margaret Feest (nee Francis (1902-1979)) in the 1930-1950s. I believe they were perhaps surnamed Francis and their UK family came from either Horsham, Sussex or Reigate, Surrey. They lived variously in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide. Whilst I do not wish for direct contact I would like to put any Australian connection into my family tree. My Mother had 2 Sisters, Gladys & Nellie & a younger brother Robert Leslie. All died some years ago. Their Father was Robert Francis who married Ellen Dewdney. They were both born in Horsham Sussex. He was a 'jobbing' taylor and worked for a top-notche talloring in Worthing, Sussex |

James, you have named three different capital cities there so you would be needing records from three different states. |
